Machine Gun Nests
Sandbags with a machine gun on top.
Sandbags with a machine gun on top. It fires rounds with a high fire rate at the enemy.
Mod contents:
- General Purpose Machine Gun (GPMG)
- Heavy Machine Gun (HMG)
Requires:
- The 'Gas operation' research in the tech tree
- GPMG: At least 6 construction skill to build
- HMG: At least 8 construction skill to build
Materials:
- 5 textiles stuffs (any fabric or leather) for the sandbag the gun sits on
- Steel for the gun
- Components for the gun
Machine guns must be manned to fire, and they need to 'reload' their ammunition belts after a while. This uses the vanilla 'barrel change' mechanic that the vanilla mini-turrets use. Keep some steel nearby!
Future plans:
- Custom code to make the machine guns only fire in a frontal 180 degree arc
Shout-out to XeoDanNoav for the inspiration. I wanted to have a simple, stand-alone version of his machine gun nest, so I made this mod.
